The Blackburn Gingerbread Christmas Trail

Read more
=
The events - like the Festival of Making and Pride - bring in a lot of new customers. The sand trail did well for us too. A lot of people stopped to take photos and then come in for a coffee. We have had quite a few people come back after too.

Your BID member update emails were so helpful all the way through the lockdown and after.

Thanks for letting us be a part of the Sand Sculpture trail - the kids have all loved it!
Paul Wilding
Partner at Grays Schoolwear

All the engagement as a result of the trails has been absolutely amazing. We have doubled our footfall over the week. We can see all the smiles on the children's faces and we're definitely going to get involved in anything organised by Blackburn BID in the future.

The activities create something special for the town. They give families something to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming in to the shop as a result. The BID should be proud of itself.
